We didn't sell out the home ends this season and could have given them more. We're as petty as them

We sold out the 3 sides and spilled into the NE, once we dis they couldn't, due to the logistics they were never going to get more, as they couldn't exit to the north, meaning too many going one way.

Even one block of the NE for them and there's probably nearly 3k all entering in the south area, with just 2 turnstiles I think.
 
Rovers throwing 2 games away now from winning positions, not good enough to be going up if you can't see games through in the last minutes.

Only give the Mighty 2,200 tickets at Dumpdale yet nearly 5,000 Rovers fans will be there tonight for the crucial game for a Play-off place.

Hope it backfires on the Lilyshoite scum against their closest rivals.

Because they don’t mess us about with tickets at Ewood.

Only yourselves to blame

Not sure but, last time I checked they didn't have the Oystons who built a temporary stand with limited exits.

Once the other stands had been filled, the club were hardly going to lock out our own fans were they. Once we occupied it you couldn't.

I wouldn't bother JJ, it's too much for them to comprehend.

Just like us this season then

We didn’t want our own fans to miss out so we split the Kop.

Wasting your time talking to amoebas. They don't have the intellectual ability to process what happened. The only number they can understand is 4 2.

Because it’s bullshit🙄

Oh how you all laughed when you refused us a few hundred more tickets, tickets that you offered to every other away side.

You were all giving it large saying you’d still get the full allocation at Deepdale.

How wrong you were though and as expected all the toys started being thrown from the pram when your allocation was slashed.

Like I said, it's too much for you to understand.

Seemed like you had enough capacity to fit them in the other sides.

We had about 16,800 home fans in the stadium.

Capacity is about 21,200 nowadays, not 23,400

If we‘d given you 5,600 it would have meant 1,200 of our fans missed out.

No it's not.

Your lot went meltdown because they believed they would get the tickets over home fans and were too daft to understand the logistics of our stadium.

We then get the stupid argument saying we offered every other side the extra tickets.

Maybe have a little think about why that might happen.. oh yeah, other games weren't as well attended as the only proper derby game we have and people care about. I wonder why that game has the demand to sell more tickets 🤔

Actually, we have done it again, against Cardiff recently on Bank Holiday, there was demand to fill beyond the 3 sides, so what happened, we spilled into the east.

Same would happen if demand was there for other games.

It might be 22,200🤔
My point still stands though
Our fans wouldn’t have fit in had we given you the full stand.

Plenty of room in the home ends from what we saw. Plus if you stop the free tickets there’d have been even more empty seats.

How do over 2k seats go missing? Maybe you should launch an enquiry?

Not sure about this season but the first time, you weren't selling the front 3 rows in the Finney stand towards the away end and there was huge gaps too in those blocks.

'Deepdale is now an all-seater stadium with a total capacity of 23,404, as follows:
  • Sir Tom Finney Stand: 7,893.
  • Bill Shankly Kop: 5,933.
  • Alan Kelly Town End: 5,859.
  • Invincibles Pavilion: 3,719.'
So you could have fit into the other sides.

Had we got.. let's say 4k, that segregation of the first small block of the pavilion, would be unnecessary, as segregation would be each side in the away end and there'd be no need to artificially reduce capacity.

Then you'd have had upto 17,471 to fill.

You had 16.5k first time against us, so even with some unnecessary taped off seats, you still could have done it, but you chose to play silly buggers.
